Enough Thunder
(EP)

After winning indie hearts with his debut album, James Blake took a hard left with "Order" and "Pan," two tracks of atomized, alienating dubstep minimalism. Enough Thunder is far cuddlier: the Justin Vernon duet "Fall Creek Boys Choir" is a melancholy Auto-Tune prelude with woodland critter effects, and the live title track and the Joni Mitchell cover "A Case of You" present Blake at his most vulnerable, with rippling piano as the fig leaf to his naked, cracking voice. "We Might Feel Unsound" and "Not Long Now" dip back into electronics in a way suggestive of Bjork.
